MILLIONS TRAINED
FOR WAR JOBS
GO-TOSCHOOL
CAMPAIGN PROGRESSES
During the past four years,
more than 13,300,000 men and
women
enrolled
in
drain­
ing programs for war jobs, Paul
V. McNutt, chairman of the war
manpower commission reports.
The training was provided by a-
gencies cooperating with - the
WMC bureau of training. Of this
vast group, the food production
war training program, conducted
through vocational agriculture
schools had 3,035,566 enrollments
The engineering, science and
management war training pro­
gram, given in selected colleges,
had 1,558,123 enrollments. The
training within industry program
enrolled, 1,375,767 supervisory
who, in turn, provided instruc­
tion for millions of war plant
workers. The national youth ad­
ministration, which is no longer
in existence, provided training
for 772,756 persons, during 1942
and 1943 fiscal years.
More than forty national or-
ganizations-educational, econom­
ic, social and civic—are support­
ing the campaign to get em­
ployed high school pupils back to
the classrooms this month. In 30
states especially organized cam­
paigns are under way. Greatest
stress
is, being placed on the
importance of having a well-ed-
ucat.d citizenry in the post-war
era and the hundreds of thou­
sands of high school boys and
girls who have gone to work are
being advised by veterans and
others of the importance of pre­
paring for the new era. In a
joint statement,
Katherine F.
Lenroot, chief of the children’s
bureau of the U.S. department
of labor, and John W. Stude­
baker, U.S. commissioner of ed-
uca ion, said, “throughout the
campaign we are stressing the
importance of dr /eloping well
supervised school-and-work pro­
grams in those communities in
which the labor supply is tight
and where the work of young
people is both needed and de­
sirable.”
VETERANS LEARN
RIGHTS, BENEFITS
OF
Every veteran, upon being dis­
charged, will receive a booklet
entitled “Your Rights and Bene­
fits, A Handy Guide for Vet­
erans of the Armed Forces and
Their Dependents.” The booklet
was prepared by the retraining
and reemployment administration
of the OWM. Nearly 2,500,000
copies of the booklet are now
available. Veterans who have al­
ready been discharged will be a-
ble to obtain copies from draft
boards, offices of veterans ad­
ministration, USES or commu­
nity veterans information centers.
LEND-LEASE FOOD
DELIVERIES DROP
Meat, dairy and poultry prod­
ucts head the list of foods for
ithe Allies, in the WFA’s report
bf July deliveries for shipment
under lend-lease. These deliver­
ies totaled 522,851,964 pounds
compared with 658,116,418 lbs
in June and 1,231,844,656 lbs in
July of last year. Exactly 187,
494,485 pounds of the July de­
liveries consisted of meat pro­
ducts, principally cured and froz­
en pork, canned meat and lard.
More than 11)0,000,000 pounds
consisted of dairy and poultry
products principally evaporated
milk, cheese and dried eggs.
Grain products totaled 80,984,
580 pounds; fruits and vegetables
38,537,436 pounds; fats and oils,
38,260,249 lbs; sugar 34,319,947
lbs; cotton fiber, 10,976,056 lbs;
tobacco, 938,439 pounds.
HOG BRISTLES
FLOWN OVER "HUMP”
Most dangerous air route in
the world, by general admission,
is the flight from India to China
over the Himalayan Mountains.
This run, known as flying “the
hump”, is used for hauling vital
war cargoes to China. On the
equally dangerous return flight,
Chines» hog bristles make up a
part of the cargoes, the FEA
reports. American pigs are killed
too young to have time to grow
the long, strong bristles charac­
teristic of Chinese pigs-inreal-
ity boars. These hog bristles from
China are very important in the
making of paint brushes for the
navy and U.S. maritime commis­
sion, as well as for brushes used
in wool combing machines.
NEW CEILING
PRICES ON BRIDES?
Now life has no more sur-
prises-In Durban, South Africa,
a man was able to get himself a
wife by paying her dad $88 in
hard cash plus seven cows. So
what? So, into the OPC there
appeared a man who protested
that his prospective father-in-law
had jacked up the price to $128
in hard cash.
The F-I-L ex­
plained that increased cost of
living made it necessary for him
to boost his price. The control­
ler allowed as how the problem
was beyond his province.
UNDERNOURISHED
NORWEGIAN LABORERS
The food rationing for Nor­
wegians working in Nazi slave
labor camps is so small the work­
ers must have food sent to them
from their homes, the Swedish
newspaper Stockholms’ Tidningen
says in an article reported to
OWI. Attempts to get Norweg­
ians to sign up for harvest work
failed because all knew that
meant working on military for­
tifications. Not one person signed
up.
ARMY CAN FIELD
50,000 BALL TEAMS
The army purchases anuually
enough baseball equipment to out­
fit 50,000 baseball teams and
100,000 softball teams; the navy
enough for more than 11,000
and 22,000 respectively, the OWI
reports. The army and nayy buy
up about 90 percent of all sports
and game equipment produced in
the United States and as a con­
sequence, civilians can expect lit­
tle or no increase for the present
in the amout left over for their
use. Last year the services bought
sports and game paraphenalia, de­
voted to the use of enlisted men,
costing $38,000,000. Even so, to­
tal r°w supplies represented ap­
proximately one baseball glove
for every 17 men in the army
and f.” every 28 in the navy.
FARM PLANS
FOR WAR VETS
In formulating the principles of
guidance for establishment of vet­
erans, war workers and farm
youths after the war, the inter­
bureau committee of the depart­
ment of agriculture points out
that most cf the good agricul-
When the temperature goes up,
it’s usually more difficult for
mbst people to work than it is
when the thermometer doesn’t
reach such a high figure. How­
ever, there are some things that
must be done. For example, Hank
King had a job to do Tuesday,
the hottest day when a leak in
the water main on Bridge ir. front
of the Vernonia Auto Co. had to
be repaired.
Hank dug down
through the cement pavement
right during the hottest part of
the day. . . Cleve Robertson
claims he had a sprained ankle
Wednesday so had two high
school boys help him unload
freight. Might be he wanted
help for that day wasn’t too
cool either. His ankle really
was sprained, though, but no
doubt the extra help would have
been welcome anyway.
Dr. Eby proved he knows how
to handle an Irish buggy Sun­
day and Monday when the Odd
Fellows poured the cement walk
at the hall. He coaxed one of
the buggies around for some
time on both days and says he
doesn’t have
too many sore
muscles either. . . Wallace Mc­
Crae has been working out with
the football squad for the past
few nights, presumably to give
the boys a little instruction in
football technique. It might be
mentioned, though, that Mac’s
beltsize has been increased dur­
ing his summer’s “work” for
Clark and Wilson with Glen
Hawkins and Paul Gordon and
that, although he failed to men­
tion it, may be partly the reason
for his turnout. . . .
Dan Cason has been pretty
busy lately but the other day
he had a little spare time so
was observed trying out his new
cement walk several days after
it had been in use. He said that
was the first time he'd had the
chance to walk on it. . . Five
little boys were observed the oth­
er day playing soldier. It may
be fun for them but the chances
are their older brothers don’t
think soldiering is so much fun.
tural land in the United States al­
ready is in farms. Approximately
one and one-half million veterans
with farm experience will be de­
mobilized following the war, many
of the three million war workers
with farm experience may wish
to return to farming, and thou­
sands of farm youths will be look­
ing forward to a place in agricul­
ture, the committee reported. “In­
tensification, improvement and
further development in productive
land areas” might make 350,000
family farms available during the
five years after the war, and if
additional farms are needed, per­
haps 300,000 more could be de­
veloped within 10 years through
reclamation, the committee said.
ROUND-UP
WPB announces—The total val­
ue of farm machinery produced
during July 1944 was $73,595,553
a figure which is 51.2 percent
higher than the monthly average
during the 12 preceding months. .
. Manufacturers of corn pickers
and binders were urged to speed
up their production during»Aug­
ust and September so that corn
growers will have this machinery
for the fall harvesting season. . .
American coal mining machinery
sent to Britain is helping to raise
the rate of production of "strip”
coal froum the current 10,000,
000 ton a- year to 18,000,000 or
20,000,000 . . . Lumber stocks
at sawmills and concentration
yards totaled 4,118,083,000 board
feet at the end of the second
quarter, 1944, the lowest figure
since December 1941, . . Exactly
15,000 electric hair clippers will
soon be made and the finished
snippers will go to the armed
services.
OPA summarizes—Chester M.
Bowles, administrator says, “Each
of us, government agency, each
industry, each labor union, each
group of farmers— and each indi­
vidual community-will have a
share in this enormous (recon­
version) task . . . since April,
1943, when the hold-the-line pro­
gram was issued, rents and re­
tail prices for cost of living items
have been generally stabilized-
showing a rise of less than 2
percent ... I believe that full
credit for cost-of-living stabiliz­
ation must be shared with our
farmers, workers and our indus­
trial managers.
